Why Patty Smythe and Scandal and not Jet?
I submit that Patty found that one song and made a great video to go along with it.
Barbara Barrow’s voice is as good as any of the rock chanteuses of the age. Better than many, in fact.
But how are the songs, Allen?
Boring. Nondescript. I don’t think they were gonna get a lot of Mainstream Airplay with a chorus of “I Wanna Be Your Love Slave” in 1981. We still had to break some boundaries to get there. And Jet wasn’t the one to break ‘em.
This alternates between semi-interesting MOR rock and Unctuous Pop.
